Rumor: 2023-2024 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Offseason Edition

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

If we trade Toews/Girard then I wouldn't mind him at like 1M as a replacement on the bottom pair.

Ditto . Like Dallas did with Suter

 

[The Moops]

So Vancouver gets $8M in cap space with OELs buyout...


Conspiracy theory time but they would make a lot of sense to go after Byram with an OS this summer now. They could go like $8M for 5 years and would put us in a pretty ugly spot honestly. And the compensation would only be 2024 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Would you trade signed Byram for Miller w/ $2M retained?

If Miller was 4-5 years younger, I would.

They'd go ~6.4m x 5... too tough for the Avs to match and only a 1st and 3rd (they also don't have their 2nd to make a higher one work).

Can’t wait to see what stupid shit they do with that extra cap

Karlsson

I just realized that for me this FA off-season is going to be more fun because there’s no big name we are hoping to sign or re-sign, just our own RFAs and a soon to be UFA in Toews.

We need some ass-busters for the bottom six.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Karlsson

Didn’t he say he wants to go to a contender?

Canucks ownership think they are , just need a better « bounce »

I'd prefer more ass eaters for the top 6.

Dear god yes. And I’m a big Byram fan.

Vancouver's 1st in 2024 should be a pretty damn nice pick if the worst does happen

Yep trade them Toews for a bundle and sign OEL for 1 mil

Rather Makar for Petterson lol

I think they are a playoff team next year

Nobody on earth besides you makes this trade

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I dunno if it would honestly. If they added Byram while getting rid of OEl, that defense already looks so much better.

They'd probably be a playoff team IMO. Although I also thought they would flirt with the playoffs this past season so I might just be overrating the forward group they have lol.

They'd go ~6.4m x 5... too tough for the Avs to match and only a 1st and 3rd (they also don't have their 2nd to make a higher one work).

Yeah I went and looked afterwards and saw they don't have a 2nd.

I feel like the Avs probably match at $6.4M though, even though it would suck to do. Can't lose Byram for what would likely end up being a mid 1st round pick basically.


Though it would solve the LD dilemma, at that point you just keep Toews and Girard easily and they would get quite a bit of ammunition to be aggressive at improving the forward depth for next year.

Would you trade signed Byram for Miller w/ $2M retained?

So Miller at $6.25M?


Yeah, I would for sure.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Guess I'm in the minority here.

Schiefele/Lindholm/Kuzentsov etc + Byram (2nd pair) > Miller retained + Girard (2nd pair)

I get the contract security with Miller but still not worth it IMO

I'm only moving Byram for a 2C if he's in the same age category as Byram. Like McTavish or something. Otherwise I'd rather keep him and find other options

 

[Avs9296]

They'd go ~6.4m x 5... too tough for the Avs to match and only a 1st and 3rd (they also don't have their 2nd to make a higher one work).

As much as it would suck Avs match that rather easily and deal with the consequences after (trade G, let Toews go, or trade Byram himself).

They can't let him go for a likely mid 1st and a 3rd.

If they found someone to take on Tyler Myers this year too, that's $14M in capspace they could free up

Yeah, I doubt they do that though. Myers with his signing bonus will cost a 1st+ to dump. And I think his signing bonus is weird and doesn't get paid until late in the summer or something weird.


Garland and/or Boeser could get them quite a bit more space... But I dunno why they'd move either of them really. Neither guy is worth much but both are solid middle 6 forwards that help to make the depth of the forward group stronger.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I just can't get past JT Miller the person. If we do trade for him, I hope to hell he makes me eat crow about him being an attitude problem with greater than average potential to disrupt a locker room.

0 chance they don’t match it. Worst case scenario match and trade.

That term would suck ass though. 5 years then UFA already. Like Montreal did to Carolina with Aho.
